If you see hot dealers with thier tits showing- 6/5 table.Young first-time players who barely know the rules.

I make it a point,when I am wondering around the tables to ask the dealer during shuffle where I can find a 3/2 table(loud enough for the players to hear)..Inevitably a player will ask what I mean /what is the difference in BJ..Either I will inform them or the dealer who kind of has to..

I remember back in the late 70's, I tried this card counting system at the Circus Circus, very early in the morning head on with the dealer. I was up a small sum when the pit boss signaled for a new dealer. Damn, it was before 6 am. The new dealer shuffled and smiled after each deal, so I left the table and I have never played 21 since. Now, the only bets I make are on sports. My take, if you play 21, I doubt if you can win a few bucks anymore.

I stopped playing awhile back when most places went to 6:5 and also I realized a few dealers were counting on their own so when the count was remotely in the players favor they would muck the deck and shuffle but most people wouldn't notice that.

But its not for the casinos benefit, See the way it works is, they spot a counter

they count down as well

If it gets favorable for the counter they shuffle up if the counter is not tipping them.

Call it extortion if you will

Ill deal deep into the deck on high counts when you are tipping me, at the same time these smart dealers shuffle early for you on negative counts, Its a win win situation if you are a tipper and not a prick.

Best dealers on the planet are ones who count down the deck, they are all help but the tokes have to be there or your gonna get shuffles on high counts.

LOL, dealers don't count cards, they have no reason to. If a floor supervisor suspects you of counting cards, they will call surveillance. They are the ones who will count down the deck and watch your bet size and determine whether you are a counter or not. Dealers have no say as to when to shuffle...procedures tell them when to do so. Only their floor supervisor can change that. Any dealer that tells you they can influence the outcome by the way they shuffle the cards are full of themselves.

yea so you have a shuffling machine BJ 6-5 and you can only double 9, 10, 11 again i ask why are people playing this what are a players odds at probably around 40% maybe less if your not playing basic strategy

no wonder casinos are always renovating in vegas i cant imagine the money they make over a weekend

I was in LV the week of the 4th. I've been counting cards since the '80's and consider myself a pretty good counter, being able to act like a ploppy, have a conversation, and still keep an accurate count whether it's a single deck or an 8 deck shoe, all the while sipping beers and cocktails and making cover plays. Still, I am a green-chipper, rarely betting more than $150 on a hand. I subscribe to Stanford Wong's Current Blackjack News, so I only played at casinos with favorable rules and good penetration(card counters will know what I mean). I made very few mistakes in the 4 days I was there, playing probably 20 hours of Blackjack. Let me tell you, I couldn't make a hand to save my life! It did not matter what casino, or how many decks, I lost hand after hand after hand. Twice I lost 11 hands in a row, once when the count was positive the whole time. In a word it was a bloodbath. I lost my entire trip bankroll of $4K($500 of that lost on video poker, another game where I know the strategies). I was also harassed on the strip by some idiot and his homies who thought it was funny to walk up behind people and scream in their ear.

At least the room was comped and we had some great food (Mesa Grill is my favorite in Vegas). Anyway, I think people get the idea that card counters(advantage players is a better term) make as much money as they want to, anytime they want to. The fact is, even the best players will most likely lose more hands than they win. So if you want to play the game, at LEAST learn basic strategy, and STAY AWAY from games that pay less than 3/2 for a Blackjack! You are better off playing craps or baccarat.

Yes, DJ. M Life casinos have dbl deck pitch games with DAS. Also Aria and TI. These are $50 min. tables. I believe the Monte Carlo game is $100 min., but I didn't play there. I did play at MGM, Bellagio, and Treasure Island, among others. Some of the DD games had a house edge of only .19, which is a pretty good game. Good pen also. I think once in a while a casino will have 2-1 blackjack, but only as a promotion, and only for a short time. I never hear of early surrender being offered, but maybe it's out there somewhere.
